I purchased this gi primarily for training. I purchased an A3 as I am 165 lbs., 5' 11". It arrived and I was immediately impressed by the thickness and quality of the gi itself. It did have a distinct smell of mothballs, but nothing that I hadn't expected. I was excited and tried it on immediately.

When I tried it on I was disappointed. The pants are enormous around the waist. Having a 32" waist, I have to pull the rope so tight that untied the cord goes down to my knees or lower and the waist line bunches up cause there is so much extra fabric. They are also a bit long, but I can't tell if that's an issue with not being able to keep them up, or the actual length.

The top on the other hand fit nicely, albeit the sleeves are a little long. Nothing to bad though. Very comfortable in terms of length.

My first thought was to wash both the top and bottoms and dry the bottoms to try to shrink them. After one wash they haven't shrunk any and I'm left wishing I hadn't bought the A3 at all due to the size.

I have put that I would not recommend this because I don't feel I can recommend a size to someone as I don't know if the A2 would be to small leaving people on the edge unable to get a gi that fits them.

For 300 pounds you would use an A6. It is for 265 to 300 pounds and 6 foot 5.

The A6 would be recommended for your weight. However, the pants may be too long. Please contact us at help@mmawarehouse.com for further sizing assistance.

Q:

I bought a A4 Pearl Gameness Gi, LOVED it but it was to big. I am 6 feet and 198- 205. I have a lot of muscle so the A3 should fit really good due to its long arms I keep reading about and the A4 i had was long. This helps with my shoulders being so wide. How much does this Gi weigh in A3? The pearl Gi is 4.6lbs I am looking for a Gi that light for competition because my weight is so borderline between classes. But I DO NOT like 2.5lb Gi's. Is this close to 3.5lbs? Is there any Gameness Gi (In Black)that is around 3.5lbs? Or any other Gi you sell with that type of quality?
